Plan geography lesson?

I am a student and a class that one day I write a lesson plan for five years. I am not very familiar with lesson plans. It is a geography class, and I decided to do my lesson plan on the state I live in Minnesota. The lesson plan is for students of primary school age. I decided to use the last two days Lesson Plan for a map of the art project / where they will make a topographic map of the state. What topics would be important to teach children in first three days? How do you go about configuring the lesson?

What degree (s) would be the target price on? You can read the standards education for Minnesota as a starting point. I learned my 3rd grade class how to interpret maps, learn more about the communities, and eventually make their own map and building a model community of it all. (Quadrant D is for those of you in relevance relation stuff /.) Begin by asking: "What is a community? Lead the discussion that a community is a group of people working together for a common goal. To do this, asking "What do we need in a community?" Houses to live, shop at the stores, banks, leisure parks, gas stations, restaurants, etc. What students think about their parents' place to go shopping and businesses. What are the places children? Schools, libraries, parks, perhaps video game store. Now you have your current community. Students need to learn map. It is abstract, so you'll need many examples. This book is a good start "Me on the Map" by Joan Sweeney. Teaching the parts of a map (TODAL) T = Title O = Orientation (compass rose) D = Date (the map has been made or revised) One author = (For purposes of reference point) L = Legend (Or key) If you have Internet, from Google Earth, to compare a map with a real image. As a final assessment, allow students to build their own community. They work in groups of 4-5 to make a map group. Start with the list of places that were part of the community. Create a map of fiction community on a large white construction paper. I used different size post-its to represent houses or businesses to maintain scale. The 1 "x 1 1 / 2" post-it are houses. A little more may be restaurants or shops. Then the 6 "ones that could be Wal-Mart example. Use M sticks to trace the streets. The community does not need to have everything on the list, mainly places to work and live. The proportion of homes and businesses should roughly equal. Remember TODAL on the cards! The fun begins. The whole class will now construct a model 3-D community. Have them vote on the best card. Use as a basis for the model. Do not insist that exactly match the card. Just allow students to have fun building the model. Use 1 / 2 pint cartons of milk to students to drink for lunch. These are houses or small businesses. Bigger buildings could be 2-3 boxes together. Using construction paper, and a group of students imagination build your community! Remember the streets! Cut strips of black construction paper about 3 inches wide. hot wheel cars are the size perfect for this community. Teach scale. We can not be as big as houses and cars can not be that big. Assign a place for students. Thus, in a class of 26, there are about 13 houses and 13 businesses (including a school, library, police station, etc.) Get a large flattened cardboard to build immediately. Good luck!
